4 billion years of fixing inorganic carbon in the biosphere. Sometimes mistakes O2 for CO2. Not as fast as some enzymes, but very abundant. Here, have some phosphoglycerates about it.

Rubisco,

You haven’t lost your mind at all. It is squarely atop your shoulders.

Rubisco, (edited )

Nonsense. You got this. I believe in you.

Rubisco,

Pearson: Why are you dressed so ridiculously, sir?

Recently got my Florida MMJ card... how long does it take to get out of the "kid in a candy store" phase?

I have been partoking for 45 years. I’m not used to having A choice, let alone this many choices… I feel like I need to go to all of the places and try all of the things! I’d love to hear from any fellow Floridians about their favorite dispensaries etc…

Work there. Either in the store or the grow. That tends to sand off the shine. It’s still great, but you’ll no longer hold up a line.

Rubisco,

Oh we’re all going nocturnal with this climate. It will be necessary. Maybe subterranean, too.

Rubisco,

Hey, at least the samples are still in the gel rather than the buffer solution!

Maybe this’ll help:

Covfuckups aside, which episode of Those Old Scientists is this from?

It looks like they were going for cellular scale, which would explain the absence of icosahedral shapes as viruses would be way too small at this scale. However, some parts look like colonies rather than cells.

Most cells would not be this colorful unless stained or grown on media that colors them.

Hard to say what specifically they were trying to portray. MRSA and Strep look represented, still looking for Candida auris. Maybe some cyanobacteria?

To tell friend from foe would require more than looking at them–DNA sequencing, drug resistance assay, etc.

Rubisco,

Enough to kill a small horse.

Great Scott!

Rubisco,

“What’s with all the files named after cannabis strains on the gcms and lcms computers?”
“I was making a point.”

Rubisco,

“It goes somewhere, right?”
“Of course.”
“Can you tell me where?”
“Sure. All this stuff winds up in Cygnus A.”
“You’re making Cygnus A?”
“Oh, it’s not just us. This is a…cooperative project of many galaxies. That’s what we mainly do–engineering. Only a…few of us are involved with emerging civilizations.”
“There are cooperative projects between galaxies? Lots of galaxies, each with a kind of Central Administration? With hundreds of billions of stars in each galaxy. And then those administrations cooperate. To pour millions of suns into Centaurus…sorry, Cygnus A? The…forgive me, I’m just staggered by the scale. Why would you do all this? Whatever for?”
“You mustn’t think of the universe as a wilderness. It hasn’t been that for billions of years. Think of it more as…cultivated.”

Rubisco,

Just plant a garden, smoothskin. You could have berries, flowers, and wildlife instead of a monoculture you can’t digest.

Rubisco,

“Slow down!”
“Lookin’ good.”
“My man!”

Interesting leaf shape. Kinda looks like sassafras. Congrats on the legal shift!

Lupine?

Rubisco, (edited )

Looked like it from the picture, but I wasn’t sure. Then I went back and forth on “lupin” or “lupine”. Didn’t know that about Iceland.

Rubisco,

Certainly feels as if my flank is covered.

Holy Silent Spring and Merchants of Doubt, Clair Patterson! That’s some Nuka-cola snake oil shit right there. Ye gods.

Nog and Quark in Area 51, the smell of tobacco and profit fill the air.

Reminds me of Charles Moore talking about Bisphenol-A and males in Garbage Island.

New homeowner, just sorta winging it... (lemmy.world)

Having never owned a house or really had a yard of my own, I got pretty excited and decided to do some ad-hoc landscaping. Built some raised beds for vegetables, and just laying in some organic shaped in-ground beds for low water decorative plants. Gonna fill the rest in with gravel. Any pointers?

Rubisco,

Please, I beg of you, don’t fill in with gravel. It sucks to remove, and it sucks to install, too.
Instead, space out large flat stones and fill the gaps in between with something low-growing like thyme.

Also, be sure not to girdle your trees.

That middle bed that’s already done looks great!
